whats a frame and cab worth? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dhughins · 09-20-2008, 02:56 PM

i got a salvage yard getting me a price on a 64 swb frame with decent cab, wheels axels and all, no engine or tranny.

what sounds fair? 400? 700? or am i lowballing?

shortbed70 · 09-20-2008, 03:39 PM

Scrap probably wont give you that and if you were closer I would be interested in the cab if its not bad but your a little far away

dhughins · 09-20-2008, 03:48 PM

no, i'm wanting to buy one.

dhughins · 09-20-2008, 03:49 PM

i have a 64 but it's on a shortened frame, and i don't like the looks of it. but i have a good 283 with a powerglide. also have 700r4 that i'm gonna use.

sounds like a decent price, scrap value would be probably 250, but as parts they would probably be worth more. I have been quoted 300 for good cabs.

were you buying or selling for 300? it seems it always cost more to buy than sell. ( i.e if i wanted to sell it would be 200 but since i want to buy it'll probably be around $1000. )

the guy who owns the shop was out on a tractor and his son is supposed to ask when he gets in tonight how much they would want for it.

i'm hoping he will sell and deliver it to me for around $500. i live about 10 miles away. dont have a trailer. been looking for one of those also.

I saw a complete truck in my area with no running gear, straight body go for $1100.

Of course it always cost more to buy. That's how they make their profit. Joe sells for $80 a ton and they turn around and part it out making a HUGE profit. Of course they have overhead and get to deal with the EPA guys with all the leaking fluids and whatnot.

We have a Jeep yard in my area where Jeeps are taken apart as soon as they enter the yard and every part is tagged and entered into a computer. You can walk in and ask for anything and its on a shelf or a rack priced and condition noted.

I bought my white 61 for 200, cab only. I was quoted 300 for a 61 ex forest service cab. they were both 99% rust free.
I have also gotten 1 cab and 3 complete trucks for free! and a 65 and a 66 both complete runners for 500 each.

good lookin truck. great deal. congrats.

joe231 · 09-30-2008, 10:27 PM

yeah man, good deal...
that is a bit more than a "cab and frame"

jonzcustomshop · 09-30-2008, 11:03 PM

looks like you scored!
now with the 2 you should be able to make a good truck!

kdrodworks316 · 09-30-2008, 11:43 PM

I am kinda like Jon, scorin freebies at every turn. I just came into a '63 long fleet with 37000 original miles on it. Strait as a arrow and not even a hint of rust anywhere. 6 banger and a 4 speed that hasnt been started since 1970, fired right up and coughed up a bunch of smoke and cleared right out. Drove it home for $100.....let the hating begin

joe231 · 10-01-2008, 12:23 AM

I'm watchin you now Joe!

Dustin07 · 10-01-2008, 01:03 AM

I'd say you did well at $400. In my area you'd pay about $400 for just the cab without that hood, fenders, frame, etc.

jonzcustomshop · 10-01-2008, 03:02 AM

KD if you want double your money back let me know!

283 Man · 10-01-2008, 08:09 AM
